Moments of Wonder

Occasionally I experience a moment of wonder. That moment where i realise that i am here and this is now. That "here" is Germany. That "now" I am riding a bicycle through the German countryside, with nature - so different from Africa - surrounding me. 

These moments never occur when I am busy. Seldom when I am at home. They happen unexpectedly. When I have time to free my mind. When the stress of life falls away. When I open myself up to God and free my mind from the concerns of the "daily".

Oh that I could more often free myself to experience these moments of wonder, instead of rushing from one task to the next.
